Pros

Great place to improve your professional development. I truly believe they live their values. They have a great reputation in the community and is still a desired place to work. Their benefits package is the best I've ever seen, though it is being pared down to meet Wall Street expectations.

Cons

Very slow to change. Leadership has a hard time saying no to projects. Couple that tendency with restrictions on hiring for the past two years and it leaves you with more work than can possibly get done. This has a demoralizing effect on the workforce.

Pros

Great with previous leadership. But then...

Cons

New leadership is not as dedicated to employees as previous (although bonuses have been better). New middle management there is a lot of nepotism. Once a stable company, layoffs have been a common occurrence since COVID.
